Application filed July 26, 1919.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, CHARLES L. RAGo'r,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Kingsbridge, New. York city, in the :5- county of New York and State of New York, and LOUIS F. RAGO'L, also a citizen oi the United States, and a resident of lllilford, in the county-of- Pike and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Drilling Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved portable, drilling machine of that type in which a fluid operated motor is employed for imparting'rotation to the drill or other tool and with which the tool may be fed endwise in respect to the WOli.

Our invention resides primarily in the as construction and arrangement of the tool rotating and feeding means. The main ob ject ot' our invention is to arrange the oper-- ating mechanism co-axial with the tool and with all important. moving as well as stationary partsboth. concentric with the axis and evenly balanced. in all operating positions. As one important feature of our invention, we provide a motor having a plurality of rigidly connected. motive fluid cylinders radially arranged in respect to the axis of the tool and rotatable about said with a feeding means arranged (go-axial with and projecting through the center of the motor whereby symmetry and balance are maintained and the over all length is reduced to the minimum. As a further important feature, we provide an axially dis posed stationary motive fluid distributor which is so designed, when constructed, that it serves as a housing. for or receives a part of'the drill feeding mechanism which is preferably a feed" screw projecting through The locat1on of said tubularthe motor. member inrelation to: the cylinder bases is sucli thata very-small dead space is ob tained, adding tothe efiicien'cy of-the motor. As a further important feature we provide a manuallycontrolled rotatable v sleeve en circling; theqdist ributor, bymeans of which thespeed and-"direction otrotation of the motor may be: controlled. in: its preferred embodiment, speed reducing gearingis em ployed between the-rotorof the motor and thedfirili socket a nd-in our improved connineties: tin-cs earing' as as; the thrust:

ball bearings, the feed screw mechanism,

and the drill ejector, are concentrically ara roller carrying spindle disclosed and claimed in our prior l ate'nt 1,302,709 issued May 6th, 1919. As an important feature of our present construction, each spindle carries not only the central roller which engages with an inwardly facin g track but also car. ies two auxiliary rollers, one at each end for engagement with a pair of stationary outwardly facing tracks located on either side of the rotor and constituting means for preventing any piston reciprocation except when accompanied by a corresponding rotation of the rotor. Each cylinder is provided with diametrically opposed longitudinally extending slots through which the corresponding roller spindle extends, said slots also serving to permit or a freer lubrication of the pistons.

Our improved construction als embodies various other features of importance, useful either in connection with motors of the same general type or as important features of drilling or other portable tool operating machines, and which will be pointed out more particularly in connection with a de tailed description 01" one form which our invention may assume.

For controlling the direction of rotation and speed of the motor, there is provided an oscillatory throttle sleeve 42 rotatably mounted on the distributor above the rotor sleeve 26 and within the cylindrical extension 13 oi. the casing 10. Thisexten sion 13 is provided with an annular supply passage 43 surrounding throttle sleeve 42 and connecting with live handle socket 17 through communicating passages 44 and 45, and an annular outlet passage 46 communieating with the atmosphere through openings 47. Throttle sleeve 42- is provided with one pair of diametrically opposed ports 48 registering continuously with annular supply passage 43 and a second pair of diametrically opposed ports 49 registering continuously with annular outlet passage 44, said ports 48 and 49 being situated 90 apart.

The distributor has a set of four radial openings 50 connecting with the two sets of longitudinal distributor passages 39 and 40 and in line with annular supply passage 43. The distributor has also another set of four radial openings 51 connecting with the two sets of longitudinal passages 39 and 40 and in linewith annular exhaust passage 46. The ports 48 are arranged intermediate of the ports 49 and axially spaced from them so that when ports 48 are connecting the annular supply passage 43 with the pair of longitudinal passages 39. through radial openings 50, ports 49 will connect annular outlet passage 46 with the pair of longitudinal passages 40 through radial passages 51.

111 normal operation the motor fluid may enter from the live handle socket- 17 through the passages 44 and 45 to the annular supply chamber 43 and through the ports 48 of the throttle sleeve and two of the radial openings to the two longitudinal passages 39. its the rotor turns the ports 38 of the several cy ders will come into registry with the port. 1 of the longitudinal.passages 39 and thus each cylinder will receive motor fluid twice dining each complete rotation of" theurotor. At the same time, theother two longitudinal passages 40 will be in open com munication through radial openings 51" and throttle ports 49 to the annular ezihaust passage46 and from the latter to the atmosphere to openings 47. Thus-with each complete rotation of eachcylinder it will twice come into registry with the exhaust passages and the; motor. thud-an I The ports.

. ate or rest position as shown in Figure 2, the

of the distributor and ports 38; oi the c 1 der's are, made of such size as to; give tl endesired duration of intake a'ndduration of exhaust. For anon-expansible motivefluid this might, be nearly :for each, but with an expansive fluid any desired cut-ott may be. secured. As shown in Figure 3 the port 38 o l the cylinder which is in a horizontal position. is not in registry with either of the two vports 41 of the distributor and theretor has to rotate approximately through an angle of 8 in either direction in order that ports 38 and 41 will come into registry. This has the efiect of not only having a point of cut-01f at 8 of rotation, but also provides for a motion through 8 of rotation at the beginning of the power stroke before admission of motive fluid is e'flect-ive. This is done in order that the cut-off will be equal no matter in which direction the rotor rotates.

The throttle sleeve 42 may be oscillated through approximately 90, any suitable mechanism being provided for this purpose. As shown, the throttle has an operating handie 52 projecting througha slot in the flange 13 of the casing section 10. lVhenin one extreme position, the motive fluid will enter each cylinder just after it passes the minor axis 01 the ellipse when the exhaust port will open at or about the time the cylinder passes the major axis. By rotating the throttle sleeve to the opposite limiting position, the motive fluid will be admitted to each cylinder at the other side of the minor axis and rotation in the opposite direction will be assured. By bringing the parts to an intermediate position, as for instance as shown in Figure 2, the ports48 and 49 will be brought out of registry with 15353 the radial passages 50 and 51 in the distributor and thus the motive fluid cannot be admitted to or escape from the latter and the motor will be at rest. From the intermedihandle may be moved in either direction and the rotor will turn in the direction toward which the handle is moved at a speed corre sponding to the amount of movement of said handle.

From the foregoing it will be thought that the operation of the motor per so will be sufficiently fully understood, although a more detailed description oi? the operation of a somewhat similarcoi'istruction willbo found in our prior Patent 1,302,709 issued May 6th, 1919.

"For transmitting1motionand power from the rotor to the spindle 20,'and for se' the desired relative speeds, we 1" planetarygearing. 1he loweren po 7 s of .the'rotor isprovided with a dri ing pinion. As shown, the, hub portion .26 is exd -below the lower end-i t the st; W t- 5 'an wiacutt an annular member cut to form an internal gear 55' in the same transverse plane with the pinion'54. The spindle is provided with a lateral flange orhead '56 below the plane of these two gears and this flange or .head' carries a plurality of intermediate gears v57-;mounted in any suitable manner, as for-instance, on hearing pins 58 threaded into the head'56. These intermediate gears '57 mesh with both the pinion 54 or" the rotor and th e stationary internalgear55 of the casing; The rotation of the rotor will cause these intermediate gears to rotate about their own axes and travel along the stationary gear 5 5, thereby efi'ecting thefdesired positive rotation of the spindle 20 at. the desired lower speed than that or the rotor.

Inorder to'take-the'end thrust of thctoo-l,

a thrust ball bearing is mounted between' tlie upper surface of the toolholder head and This is the inner end of the distributor 15: 7 shown as including a pan otrace rings 59 and 60 disposed within the rotor sleeve 26.

The lower race ring may be carried by the p 2 with the inner end of the drill or tool'shank sleeve 20 and the upper race ring by the distributor 15. Both race. rings should clear the rotor sleeve in order not to makeco t with the latter.

For feeding the tool into the work, there I stituting feed post 61 is disposed entirely within the distributor and at its inner or' lower end, has an outwardly extending flange 62 rigidly secured to the inner end of the distributor '15 and if desired disposed between the'latter andthe thrust bearing race ring 60. Feed postGl is, externally threaded so that the outer member or sleeve-63 which is internally threaded may be-screwed on to noted, constituted" a casing for the feed mechanism. The out-er end of the feed sleeve 63 may be constructed in any suitable manner for engagement with a stationary support and may be provided with any, suitable means to facilitate the rotation of said mem-.

ber. As shown, feed sleeve 63 has a pointed outerend 6a which maybea separate hardenedinserted piece and is provided with a suitable handle 65 to facilitate its rotation.

it will be "noted that" the} entire I end thrust 'otthe drill or toolis transmitted from the spindle 2O throu'ghthe thrust'be'a'ring to the fiangej62bt the feedpost I61 and'from the latter-tothe feed sleeve (Bend the station m support (not shown) 2;: Thu's none of .the, thrusts directly sustained-by the distr1bu-' tor. or the? motor casing, and therei'ore "the casing anddistributor may be madeof coma paratively light material, 'altho'u ghthedisf e .tributor itself should be of such material'as 'willprovide a suitable bearing for the rotors It-will be noted that one of the two-threaded members constituting the screw'flfeedis rigid and dintfand'areconcealed from view. It

willfbe evident that if desired it may be the 7 inner of the two threaded members which is to. be movable into and out of the casing,

and in that event, the distributor itself may beinternally threadedand serve not only as the distributor but also as one of the two threaded members of the feed screw.

* For removing the drill or 'tool'i'rom the.

socket '21'there is provided a pin 66. slidably mounted within and coaxial with the .ieed post 61. -The lower end of this pin may project through the ball thrust bean.

ing tosuch a position that it may engage and force the latter out of the socket ot the spindle 20. ,Forforcing this pin'fendwise and for normally preventing the pm; from falling out when the tool is removed,

the upper or inner end'of the; pin may. be 1 provided with a head '67 above the upper end of the feed post 61 and withinthe' feed When the latter'is screwed in,

sleeve :63. nearly to ts limlting position, a transverse wall or stop' will engage with the head of the pin and force the latter downwardly a su'lficientdistance to dislodge the tool. The feed sleeve 68 must be screwed outagain to a slight extent: topermit the proper reinsertionof the tang of the tool. Owing to more, if the device is used to drive atool not requiring ejection the distributor may,

be left with a solid center.

It" will be noted that in our improvedconstruction, 'therotor of the motor is coaxial -with the toolsocket'an'd that the entire 'niechanism is balanced and; symmetrical.

The radial movement of each piston is accompanied by acorrespondmg but opposite movement of a'diametrically opposed piston and the'samestep in the cycle of operation takes place simultaneously in diametrically opposed cylinders Themotor is so coo structe'd'that .the feed; mechanism operated directly through the center of the motor and the casing; or housingof the vfeed screw mechanism 'se'rjves as a motive-"fluid "distrib utor and "has ajournal or bearing for the rotor. The parts most liable to Wear, such as the elliptical guide 34 and the annular gear are formed separately from'th casing'and are ri'gidly secured position upon the-assembling 'ot the casing so-that they cannot become displaced or loosened. The rp'arts are sol'designed that they may be very readily removed or replaced and the moving parts'may be readily lubricated.

The mechanism may be employed for .opcrating any kind of rotary tool :tor'use on any'variety'otwork, suchas wood, or metal. In designating the invention a portable drilling machine, it will 10f course be evident'that such 'termis used in its broadest :meaning and includes reaming, tapping, counter-sinking, and other operations performed by a-rotary tool, the character of the operation depending upon the particular toolzselccted. Any suitable motive-fluid may be employed, such as compressed air, steam, water or explosive 'mixture. It will of course be evident that the arrangement and sizes ofthe portsmust be properly designed in accordance with the motive fluid to be employed.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is:
